Late evening, Levi was bragging about having dinner atMaribella Restaurant. Madison cannot refuse again; she gives up and let him follow to the restaurant. Anyway, she will go to pick up her Aunt Marie, looks no difference, so she agreed of tonight"s dinner date;if this can be called a date? In reality,they weren"t in a relations.h.i.+p.Marie is the only one who knows her real mission until last night"s encounter with Levi and her parents. Marie was working inSection 5, people who knew theSecret of the Past, or important information, and they wereRecords of Time. Maybe they should be called, The Librarian; and Madison trained to be one to pa.s.s on their family"s legacy. That"s how she knows the story of Carlisle and Marivella, however, Lady Isabella hasn"t shared everything to her yet…The story of Charles Montfort and Carlene Chen Williams.
Surprisingly, dinner ended smoothly; because Madison found Levi"s weakness, and that is work. Somehow, he is pa.s.sionate about it, that will be her token to get his trust, and not just being his amus.e.m.e.nt around.
She leads to open up and occupies him by asking about the program of finding new racers for the Montfort Race Club. She let him explain more and teach her all she needed to know so that; she could have knowledge of how she will do her job as the best secretary.
"Thanks for dinner and for teaching me what I needed to know," she said after they arrived home and Levi was following behind to make sure they got home safe. She almost wanted to believe his sincerity is giving special treatment toward her; but she thinks, it"s just his nature.
"You are always welcome. Actually, I like this… we actually agree on many things," he said and wearing that smile again.
"I just wanted to be an effective secretary so I could be a lot of help," she said with intent tone.
Levi was looking at her earnestly, then he phrases this afterward,"You are wrong, Miss Girlfriend."
After saying that, Levi step inside his car and bid goodnight at Madison; it left her confused.
What was that?Each day, she is becoming completely puzzled about him. Sometimes, he is this mysterious guy but most of the time; he is playful. So she doesn"t know if which one to prefer? She thought. She shook her head, then watch Levi"s car disappearing in the next corner.
Montfort Mansion
Levi steps out of his car; he looks up into the sky and sees how the skyline is clearer tonight, no signs of a bad storm for the next day it seems. So he stayed outside for a while and sat on his car trunk; let his eyes wandered the entire city.
"Levi? Why you haven"t gone inside yet?"
"Uncle Edward? What are you doing here? It"s cold." It surprises him to see his uncle.
"Nah, it"s spring soon. It will get warmer. Something bothering you?" he asked him then.
"Uh, not really. Just some thoughts, Uncle."
"Still about the book?" Edward could easily read him.
Levi glance at his uncle then nodded; before he fixes his eyes to the famous Eiffel Tower. "I am just curious about the continuation of the book you gave me."
"Ah…"
"But what intrigues me more if everything happening again?"
"What do you mean by that?" Edward will try his best to give his nephew an answer which he fully knew how Levi was curious about everything.
"I just want clearer facts about the past," he expressed.
"You were getting curious a lot lately as what I see… that"s a good sign," he praises him. "The Levi who always sneaks out home before as like a free bird is no more." Edward smiled.
"Are you proud of me?"
"I am… more than you know."
"Glad to hear that," Levi said and took a long silence before he spoke again, then asked Edward further. "Uncle, have you ever felt that there is something missing in your life? Like you continue feeling empty?"
It surprises him. Edward never expects Levi would ask this kind of question. He stared at his nephew and thought; He is really growing up as a man now. "I do," his reply.
"I already accepted to myself, that I will die feeling incomplete."
"Why is that? You never fall in love with someone before?" He is curious as he never saw his uncle having an affair with anyone or he may be just hiding it from the world?
"It"s not that I never fall in love with someone… but there are some circ.u.mstances, that you cannot force the thing you calledlove." Edward sighed.
Levi contemplates to Edwards"s words. His uncle is such a mystery man ever since he understands things around him. "Right. Are you ever happy, Uncle Edward?
"Yes, I do."
"Glad to know." Levi was actually sad about what Edward becomes. That is why he wanted to lead his life being different; as he doesn"t want to be like him.
Living a lonely life, but giving his all to carry on the Legacy of the Montfort family. Recently, he just learned the truth; and he becomes interested in accepting the responsibility as the future Master of the House.
"Have you felling this, Uncle? It is something like, just a glimpse of her; strangely, she completes you."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Edward looked at his nephew with awe.Is he in love now? To Whom?Edward thought. Are they sharing the same fate? Or is he finally realizing what he wanted? "That"s right. I know the feeling." He responded then sigh.
"However, you have a chance, to live a better life, Levi.Follow whatever your heart"s desire." Edward added.
"Can I live a life like that, uncle?"
"It is your choice, Levi. My life leads differently, so I prayed that the day comes in my next life."
Levi was confused with his Uncle Edward"s words, but he can"t bring up to counter his phrase. But his next question even made him speechless.
"What do you really feel right now?"
